The Ball State Daily News will use this program to honor athletes who had an impressive week or a breakout performance. Candidates will be chosen and the community can cast their votes.
Candidates will be announced every Monday with the voting closing on the following Tuesday at 5 p.m. The winner will be announced at a later time.
If you believe a certain student-athlete should be a candidate, email the Daily News sports editor Zach Carter at zachary.carter@bsu.ede, associate sports editor Logan Connor at logan.connor@bsu.edu or reporter David Moore at david.moore@bsu.edu.
The Ball State Daily News is partnered with the Muncie Sports Commission for this program. This will help determine nominees for the end of the year award show next spring. Here are the Delaware County Athlete of the Week nominees from Monday, Feb. 3 to Saturday, Feb. 8.
